As a national exhibition centre, the Timmins Museum often features travelling art exhibits from all over Canada.
However, staff didn’t leave the museum to find their latest exhibit.
Program co-ordinator Meagan Sinclair says the 31 pieces now on display are from the museum’s own collection.
“I think a lot of people associate us with being a history museum, but we do have a pretty significant art collection,” she says.
“Significant” as in about 300 pieces collected over the past four decades.
Sinclair says the 10% of that now out in Gray Gallery are landscapes, abstract and modern pieces done mostly by local professional or semi-professional artists.
“The exhibit is on until January 2nd, so we welcome people to come in and see these pieces.”
After that, the pieces go back into storage.
